ABOUT







Alexander Rodchenko

Aleksandr Mikhailovich Rodtschenko (1891-1956), or Rodchenko, emerged in the 1920s as one of the most influential Russian constructivists. Their lettering is always austere and geometrical, and they influenced all visual arts. A typical Cyrillic family of typefaces was recreated by Tagir Safayev at ParaType in 1996-2002, called PT Rodchenko. Other reincarnations include the Latin&Cyrillic family Rodchenko Constructed ML and Rodchenko Grotesk ML (2010, Tom Wallace). At Gaslight, the Teco Sans and Teco Serif typefaces (2012) are also said to be influenced by Rodchenko. Also, check P22 Constructivist by Richard Kegler (1995).
